[Transmission #1]

[redpaperfan]

[ Sasuke is dead tired, and has taken this moment before he has real downtime for himself in order to contact the ship network. Unfortunately, he can't seem to remember a face other than the Captain's, and he's been trying to riddle out the voice and the three seconds remaining since he woke up days earlier

[exstinctor]

Lost something yourself, boy?

[redpaperfan]

[ He looks at Tyki, the name slow in coming to him. He can't remember what Tyki looks like, but that voice... "boy" was a fairly common occurrence, but all things considered... ]

A sense of credulity.

[exstinctor]

Oh? Surely not beyond all recovery.

[redpaperfan]

Likely not. Incredulity would be the first to leave permanently.

[oliverplus]

Um...wow. You're the first person to ask for something that specific, actually. [ruffles his hair, thinking] I remember hearing this weird voice with three seconds left. But...that's all I've got.

As far as other things... [thinks about how to put this] I seem to be short a few scattered memories--random stuff. Like, apparently the captain's dead? And we've been to the crew quarters? Also, my scar from the Enviro-dome is missing. Literally missing.

How about you, Sasuke? How are you doing?

[redpaperfan]

[ Another face he doesn't recognize, but by the end of this little speech... probably Oliver. Sasuke was almost certain. ]

Then you remember three seconds left as well. Did you make out what the voice said?

[ A small nod; he's absorbing the information. ]

Yes, the captain was dead. I disposed of the body.

[ A factual statement. Disappearing scars catches his attention, and Sasuke has a feeling he's checking himself out in the bathroom mirror soon. ]

Thank you. I'm fine.

[oliverplus]

Something...about this being deserved. [frowns, thinking] But it wasn't talking to us. ...an old man, I think? The captain, maybe?

Do we know what happened to the captain?

I'm glad to hear that, anyway.

[redpaperfan]

Maybe. [ He falls silent for a while. Was this going to be repeated? Time would tell. ]

He was stabbed, at some point. He died. Anything more was inconclusive.

[marredgoldfinch]

I have retained this drawing.

[his mist-enshrouded sphere turns to the framed picture on his bedside table. there's a glimpse of Asher on his bed, next to the table]

How have you fared, Sasuke?

[redpaperfan]

Axel's sketch.

[ Consistent with what Sasuke still had, but not Oliver. From what he could tell. He hasn't placed Asher yet, but is starting to gather some details. The voice, in particular. ]

I've been fine.

[marredgoldfinch]

Now for the sixty-four thousand dollar question...

[a phrase that he'd picked up from Anita. the Sphere swivels to focus on the vampire's face]

What do you remember?

[redpaperfan]

It would be difficult to say "everything" and believe I'm correct. Outside of not recalling people's appearances, I don't find any gaps in my recollection of events.

[celestial_okami]

[Ammy holds up the scroll she got for Christmas.] This was still with me when I returned from Nippon. But all the food I gathered before heading to the cabin was missing when I awoke back in Kamui.

What of yourself, Sasuke?

[redpaperfan]

[ Another small nod from Sasuke. ]

I see. Thank you.

Are you asking what I've lost?

[celestial_okami]

Yes. [Ammy looks a little worried now, her ears cocking forward.]

[redpaperfan]

Recognition, you could say.

[bloodpiece]

Memories.

It's debatable whether I lost or kept any. I suppose that's why you would look familiar.

[redpaperfan]

Likely lost, much as how I can recognize you when I listen, but not when I look.

[bloodpiece]

Likely. Although it appears that we met before, I don't know your name.

[redpaperfan]

[ Introductions. He can handle a second set. ]

Sasuke Uchiha.
